FAQ's

Who are the Bike Virginia cyclists?

The 2,000 Bike Virginia cyclists come in all sizes, shapes, and ages. This is a fun ride, not a race. You can do this ride if you enjoy biking, have a bike with multi-gears, and train so that prior to Bike Virginia you've biked 50 miles on at least two consecutive days. Each year families, extended families, teams, couples, and singles join us for the 5-day adventure. Last year 64% were males and 36% were females. Over 40 states and Canada were represented - the most represented states were Virginia, followed by Maryland, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Ohio, Michigan, Florida, and New Jersey. The majority of cyclists were in the 35 - 50 age group, but ranged from 8 - 82.

Is indoor camping available each night?
Yes. You can roll out your sleeping bag indoors at Park View High School in South Hill (a/c), Greensville County High School in Emporia (a/c) and TJ Davis Recreation Center in Roanoke (no a/c). There is no additional fee for indoor camping. No reservations needed; first come, first served. Typically we have 60-75 indoor campers. See Accommodations for more information.

Can I bike just two or three days?
Yes. There are a limited number of spaces for daily riders. The cost is $60 per day. Simply enter the number of days you are riding x $60 on the registration form. The registration form must be mailed or faxed. On-line registration is not available for daily riders. You will need to arrange your own transportation logistics. We do not have shuttle service back to the start.
